The Illrigger is MCDM’s first custom class. Illriggers are intended to be versatile armored warriors with a wide array of supernatural abilities that reflect the infer- nal source of their power. Depending on their contract they can be highly mobile stealthy assassins, heavily armored battlefield commanders, or fighting illusionists.
As you read this, you will develop your own ideas about how over- or under-powered this ability or that ability is. We ask of you the same thing we asked of the testers: if the flavor of the class seems cool to you, try it out. Use it in your game and see if it’s wildly OP or useless.
Often in the Illrigger Beta, we’d have a new tester feel strongly about how some things were “too good” based on reading it, but in play it was actually pretty mild.
We intend on doing more custom classes for 5E! So even now, after release, your feedback will inform future work and maybe even a revision to this class. But as with everything, we value lessons learned during play most.
We hope you think the Illrigger is as cool as we do. Now go forth, and raise hell! —MCDM
